How to Calculate Battery Charge Time

0

Battery charge time is determined by dividing the battery capacity by the charging current, adjusted for efficiency. Whether it’s the robust lead acid battery used in vehicles or the sleek LifePo4 battery in modern electronics, this fundamental principle remains consistent. As renewable energy solutions like solar charging become more prevalent, with solar panels efficiently converting sunlight, understanding how to calculate battery charge time is crucial. This article offers a deep …

Get Smart About Your Energy Use With a Smart Meter

0

Smart meters are slowly becoming popular because they benefit homeowners and utility companies. Smart meters show your energy use in real-time, so you can see exactly how much power you use at any given time. This makes it easy to identify areas where you can save energy and money.
Smart meters also help to eliminate “bill shock.” This is when a homeowner is surprised by…

Harnessing New Technologies to Reclaim Valuable Biofuel Resources

0

It is estimated that up to 95% of the biofuel resources produced in a given year are flushed down the drain. This is a huge waste of valuable resources, and it also harms the environment. But there is hope. Recent technological advances have made it possible to reclaim these valuable resources. This can be done by using special filtration systems that remove and recycle the biofuel from wastewater.

Harnessing Technology for Targeted Drug Delivery With the Untethered Magnetic Millirobot

0

Scientists have created a new magnetic millirobot that can be untethered to deliver drugs to specific targets, such as tumors. This represents a significant breakthrough in targeted drug delivery, which could lead to more effective treatments with fewer side effects.
The millirobot is made up of several small magnets that can move independently. By steering these magnets, the millirobot can navigate to specific targets in the body. Once there, it can release drugs or other payloads.
This technology has already been …

New Advances in Deep Learning for Robots May Help Them Better Understand Us

0

Recently, there have been some amazing advances in deep learning for robots. Deep learning allows robots to learn from data and recognize patterns. This is important for social interaction, as it enables robots to better understand the nonverbal signals we send each other.
This advancement will allow robots to interact with us more naturally. For example, they will be able to understand and respond to our gestures, body movements, and tone of voice. This will make it easier for us to communicate with them, which could eventually lead to true human-robot …

Moisture and Gas-resistant Packaging for Deformable Batteries in Wearable Devices

0

At least one in every five people owns a wearable device these days, and for a good reason. Wearable devices are famous for their versatility- they look good and serve various purposes ranging from monitoring biomarkers to serving as vehicles for drug delivery and medical devices. 
However, these devices require stretchy and highly deformable batteries to carry out their functions effectively. As a result, a lot of research has gone into improving the flexibility of batteries while preserving battery life as well as other desirable features, but information on …

Taking Accessibility and Autonomy to the Next Level: Making Future Autonomous Transportation Accessible

0

With the help of accessible transportation options, people with disabilities can live more independently and participate in all aspects of society. 
Accessible transportation is essential for people with disabilities, and it can also benefit everyone else too. By making future autonomous transportation accessible to everyone, we are taking steps towards a more inclusive and equal society. …

Gravity and Water Batteries and Everything in Between

0

Australia’s desire to become four-fifths powered by renewables has created a need for renewable energy alternatives. While solar and wind sources are getting the job done, there is a need to bridge the gap, prevent intermittency, and create energy for overnight storage. And this is where pumped-hydro comes in. 
Pumped hydro basically consists of two strategically positioned dams – one on a hill and another in a valley- …

The Use of Unwanted Heat from Data Centres in District Heating

0

The Cool-Data project reports that it is now possible to use flexibility and waste from data centres in Denmark. In this article, we will highlight some questions answered by DTU’s researchers on the utilisation of energy in district heating. 
A research team from DTU, four companies, and a utility work together on the Cool-Data project to develop and implement a new cooling and storage system modified for small and moderate-sized data centres (about 500 servers). 
The European Union desires that data centres …

Can the Power of Lightning be Harnessed?

0

Lightning strikes about a hundred times per second which amounts to 8.6 million strikes per day. For every strike, one billion joules of electrostatic energy is released- enough energy to 3000 kettles of water. How amazing is that? 
The sun, wind, and water have been successfully harnessed and converted into useful sources of energy. Can scientists perhaps do the same for …
